Even tho the phase of the moon has no bearing on our work with Les Lois, I have always found a full moon sooooo enchanting. When the weather permits, I try hard to find a few moments to sit outside under a full moon to just take a few deep breaths and clear my head. It has always been one of my favorite things to do. I have been writing about the history and stories associated with different full moons throughout the year. Just as an overview, every full moon throughout the year has its own name. Here’s what they’re called:
January: Old Moon, or Moon After Yule
February: Snow Moon, Hunger Moon, or Wolf Moon
March: Sap Moon, Crow Moon or Lenten Moon
April: Grass Moon, or Egg Moon
May: Planting Moon, or Milk Moon
June: Rose Moon, Flower Moon, or Strawberry Moon
July: Thunder Moon, or Hay Moon
August: Green Corn Moon, or Grain Moon
September: Fruit Moon, or Harvest Moon
October: Harvest Moon, or Hunter’s Moon
November: Hunter’s Moon, Frosty Moon, or Beaver Moon
December: Moon Before Yule, or Long Night Moon
See you in the moonlight!
Light and Love
Sister Bridget
